Squad Logo Problems

[Jensin 1]

I'm not sure if this is asked a lot, wouldn't be surprise, but the searched function wasn't working for me.

But how do you make a squad logo in which the game doesn't automatically fill in the areas? I've made a logo for a clan and when it is uploaded, it shows nothing but blackness behind the main image.

So how do you make a logo that actually looks like a logo, in which the spaces aren't filled in? Such as maybe a badge shape, or even just a plain circle.

Thanks a bunch

is your XML working right? I mean, is the tag, the clan name, maybe your ICQ, bla bla in your player discription to see and is only the XML black?

Are your working with ALPHA-Channels? I use gimp.

1. I start up and save it as *.psd (because it's better to work with it)

2. When it'S done, i save it as .png (jpg file is not working with alpha channels)

3. open texview2-> load *.png (drag & drop) -> save as (options: RGBA [with alpha-channel] & DTX5

4. load it up in your xml

Make sure

a) the size is 256x256 or 512x512 (with this i had never problems) Bigger is senseless.

I use this one. I can change pictures and names, add or delete members without any problem.
